Yeah, I must admit that I REALLY don't like Black Star's dubbed voice. It was kinda high in the Japanese version as well (as I recall) but this is really silly. Tsubaki's voice is deeper for Christ'ssake! No self-respecting ninja is gonna go around with a voice that high, just no.

Black*Star's voice in the Japanese version was high because he's 13-14 years old. But the English voice is far too girly; the Japanese one managed to keep his voice sounding boyish enough.

I actually thought the Japanese one was pretty good - he was supposed to sound all annoying and everything, and I think it was perfectly portrayed. He actually sounded like a guy sometimes, but the English dub is just... no.

While I do agree that Kid sounded a bit too old in the Japanese version, the English voice just outright doesn't fit. That voice sounds too gravely for Kid; he needs a voice that gives off an air of refinement, poise, propriety, and even a little haughty (save for his OCD scenes, of course). Instead of sounding like a prim-and-proper rich kid, he sounded like a 13-year old smoker. The acting felt out-of-place too, as if he wasn't even paying attention to the scene.

Patti's voice was spot-on, at least. I don't think they could've picked a better voice for her, and her giggle is even better than the Japanese seiyu's giggle, in my opinion.

Black Star - My god....what have they done!? Not that the voice sounds bad, just that it's the wrong gender. I know he's a young guy, but last time I checked young guys still sounded like...they were male.

I think Maka, Soul, and Tsubaki were all pretty good.

Kid just felt off. Maybe the bias of hearing the Japanese voice first. But seemed odd to me. Still Liz and Patti were both pretty solid.

At least the main 3 teams are fairly good overall. Iffy on Kid and downright saddened about Black Star, but it could be worse.

^ Are you kidding?! I think Kid's English voice makes him sound old. And evil, for some reason.

No and i disagree. He sounds egotistical, obnoxious, and bratty, which fits him perfectly imo. iunno maybe im a little bit more biased because, i mean its not like i didnt like his jap va, cause he was awesome with the symmetry spazzing and whatever, but every other time it sounded like his voice suddenly aged 10+ years and iunno.

Granted im not surprised at the dub wanking, cause i mean you stream the entire series in japanese for 51 episodes, which is basically 13 months of hearing the same voice come out of a characters mouth, so when the new va doesnt sound exactly the same as the japanese one, it isnt always bad, its just different and feels awkward for most cause they're so used to the japanese dialogue.

Iunno i just think when they picked a role for Kidd they werent going for someone who sounded just like Mamoru Miyano, they picked someone who could play a character relatively egotistical, obnoxious, and bratty. And i thought they did a good job of that.

Youtube Link! A different clip than ones we've seen so far, this is when Soul, Maka, Black Star, and Tusbaki all confront Stein. Still can't say I'm loving the voices (sometimes it just sounds like they're talking too fast) so I might end up having to try both the japanese and english to figure out which I like better.

Well, they're talking fast to fit the dialogue to the lip movement. Stein's voice is okay so far; I haven't heard enough for me to get a real opinion of it, but I'm not outright upset by it so far, at least. ^^ I just LOVE Maka's voice; they seriously couldn't have found a better English voice for her (I think this is the first time I've been this pleased with an English anime VA, kudos to Funi and the actress ). Tsubaki's is starting to grow on me a bit, too.
